laghan, of Bodyke, one OF the most infamous
racxrenters of the lot, had also slsnhed MS
willingness 10 Weld. So had several others. Now
The dav after the adjournment of Parliament
thirty people people to begin with were evlctcd
ON Lord Granard's estate in Longford. Twenty
people were thrown out of their homes on the
Ionsonby estate and twice many rendered
homeless on Lord Annesley's property in Cavan'
These eyictions will be continued daily The number
ev1cted on the Annesey estate up 10 to-day
amounts to 200 An immense force OF ponce
and military have been massed on the Clanrlcafde
estate and some seizures of the tenants STOCK
have been already attempted. Thilty-fiyc people
were yesterday dispossessed in the Island of
Achill from the property of an absentee, Colonel
Give.
The BodylSe evictions were to have begun to-
dsy but as the police were about to make their
first charge on the people the sheriff went off in
an epeptic fit and the proceedings had TO be
temporarily suspended. The Bodyke campaign
will be tie most critical of any, 1t is the most
racIlrented estate in Ireland, and that is BIG
word, The people have been fighting the land
lord since 1870 and they are quite desperate.
A couple OF years ago attempt was made to
evict them, but they resisted the cvicting force
with rifles and drove them back after a sharp
fusiGde This year things look still more threat
ening The people have their houses stubbornly
bairicaded and every holding is surrounded by q
cheval-de- -friSe formed OF bushes and other
Instructions smeared with tar. There are 800
nile armed police and 200 men Of the regular
army. at the service of the sheriff. The police
have stationed vedettes the surrounding hills.
The people also have their scouts and they keep
up a system Of signalling and blowing of horns.
1be chapel bell has been ringing all day.
Every effort has been made by the people To
arrive at a reasonable settlement Even yesterday
they renewed their offer to pay the landlord his
NOR nt pOf
tion After keeping them in suspense for five hours
he refused.
Meanwhile in Wales tithe war Of frst-class pro-
portions is in full swing, Let me quote you few
incidents from this mornings kilograms which will
show how the example of the Irish tenants has in
fected their Welsh brethren and how big
a difficulty the Government are likely
to have on their hands at their own
side of the Irish channel One telegram SAYS {:
There were more lively scenes in the parish of
Merford Montgomeryshire, to-day. Six district
sales for thes having been arranged to take place.
the baiiiffs were ont all night in pursuit of the
horses and cattle destrained upOn many Of which
were out on the hillsides. A posse of 110 police
men patrolled the district during the night and at
$50 the entire force arrived at Lower Hill, being
received with deafenlng jeers by the assem-
bled farmers, laborers and women. AT the first
farm the matter was amcabiy arranged but at
the next farm visited it was different. Here 1t
was estimated that 1.500 persons were on the
scene. Tie mob fell on the police with large sticks
and serious riot ensued, in which several farmers
and constabes were badly injured.
AT COrwen there was rough work, too.
The ecclesiastical commissioners proceeded 10
effect sales but met by n great
concourse of people The auctioneer re-
ce!ved much Injury and two horses were so
much injured that they had to be shot. The coats
of the auctioneer and his assistants were taken
OIL and all were marched to Corwen,
headed by red and black flags. Before entering
town the auctioneer had to take an oath that be
would never trouble them again. Three hotels
there were declared to be boycotted. The con-
stables were marshalled back to their conveyances
amid great uproar and Immediately withdrew
from the district"
These scenes have been going on for the past ten
days all over Wa'es. In many places the people
signal the approach of bailifs with horns as they
do in Ireland. They fred off six cannons from the
mountain side at Llangwm yesterday. Clearly the
Coercion bin must be extended to Wales if there
be any logic in 1t all. L. Y. Gill, NJ p
